TechFlow news: In response to the ongoing dominance of meme coins in the narrative, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed several directions for expanding and improving the functionality and scope of cryptocurrencies:
1. zk-based reputation / identity / credentials;
2. Peer-to-peer cross-border payments (lower fees with rapidly improved user experience within this cycle);
3. Decentralized social media;
4. Prediction markets (practically usable within this cycle);
5. Privacy;
6. Enterprise applications via zk validiums;
